Don’t stuff your alt text with keywords without context. If your alt text is just a collection of keywords, it will just sound like a gibberish string. It won’t describe what’s actually in the image, and won't help a blind user get a context or content of the image.

Of the thousands of characters on TV between 1987 and 2007, TWO were Native American. One of those was Elaine Miles’s character on Northern Exposure. Last week, the actress was detained by ICE after they called her tribal ID “fake.”

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

Going to a new land only to steal it, genocide the natives, and kidnap Africans to make them rich. Whole economic system still running off slavery to this day. If not a white ethnostate, the fuck do you THINK they were fighting for??
"This isn't what our founding fathers fought for" isn't a good argument against the madness happening now bc it erases all the evil shit they perpetuated on SO MANY.
Ignoring truths about what makes the US run, including myths of the nobility of the founders, is a big part of why this is happening.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.
